The latest Vegetation Index data from NASA shows that the Earth is getting progressively greener and lusher over time.
The planet is 10 percent greener today than it was in 2000, NASA says, which means better conditions for growing crops. Forests are also expanding while deserts are becoming more fertile and usable for agriculture.
All in all, the global Vegetation Index rose from 0.0936 to 0.1029 between 2000 and 2021, a 9.94 percent increase.

The glucose is exchanged for one or more of the 41 minerals that are on the menu. The plant can send a chemical message as a signal telling the biology in the soil what it wants. It gives glucose in exchange.

It's not as bad as all that, and to be clear, it was my tax accountant, not a rancher's daughter.
The only doin' I did was to send her flowers, and chocolate covered strawberries to her and her support staff, which should be arriving this morning. Either I'll become a legend or be indicted by Noon. It's a toss up.
To be honest, Christa is the kindest soul on the planet who is under a lot of stress this time of year. I just wanted to brighten her day. There's a 99.97% probability that she's happily married, so any ulterior motives were locked-out from the git.
Oh, I hope so.

Quality of life is what I'm after, not quantity -- I just ate part of a Snickers and part of a 3 Musketeers, yummmy!
